The three day operation started June 7, and resulted in the arrest of 34 state
and federal fugitives with charges including: Murder, Rape, Shooting at a
Dwelling, Burglary, Trafficking Meth, Strong Armed Robbery, Felon in Possession
of a Firearm and Great Bodily harm with a vehicle. Marshal Conrad Candelaria
stated “Due to the combined efforts of many law enforcement officials, from
state, local, county and federal agencies, over thirty dangerous fugitives were
tracked, identified and apprehended. Many communities within New Mexico will be
safer because these fugitives will no longer be able to terrorize with their
criminal behavior and each will now face justice that is deserved and is long
overdue.”
